Ever since the FBI Hostage Rescue Team began deploying Springfield Armory Professional 1911 pistols in 1998, the gun gained a mythic status among users. Thanks to the strict accuracy and performance requirements imposed on the Professional by FBI standards, it became one of the most sought-after 1911s on the market—in part due to its reputation,…
The Rost Martin RM1C is a compact polymer pistol that is about the size of a Glock 19 for comparison. Big enough to serve as a duty-sized pistol, but small enough to also be easily concealed. What differentiates the RM1c from other “budget” pistols in the same class is that this is from a brand-new…
You have probably spent time preparing for things like natural disasters, power grid failures, and more. But with all of that work dealing with the here and now, how much thought have you put into your afterlife? Relax, I’m not here to save your soul—that ain’t my department—but once said soul is gone from this…
I have successfully made it through my 14 or 15th Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show. I feel like it was a productive week and I was able to wheel and deal, shake thousands of hands, meet tons of new people, and hug old friends. What’s amazing is that this show was the first…
The original KelTec Sub2000 is the granddaddy of folding backup rifles. Sure, there were others, but the Sub2000 was the alpha wolf of the pack, and it was the one that got to make all the puppies. The Sub2000 pack is a family of polymer-frame pistol-caliber carbines (PCC) that fold neatly in half for a…
Is bigger better? Why do you even have to ask? The answer is “yes,” and if you don’t believe me, check out Taurus’ new TH10! Here’s why I’m stoked for both the gun and the general trend back towards the 10mm … and why you should be, too. The 10mm round, first introduced back in…
It’s a new year, and that means it’s time for everyone to make resolutions that will definitely change their lives … until they get bored or stressed or what-have-you. The point of a New Year’s Resolution should be a permanent, sustainable change that offers you positive rewards. The problem is that people keep trying to…
First released in 2017 , it’s arguably one of the most popular weaponlights sold. A combination of price, durability, capability, and value are what puts the Streamlight Protac HL-X in contention for best weapon-light. What is it? The specific version reviewed: Streamlight 88071 Protac Rail Mount HL-X Long Gun Light. Programable LED flashlight 1000 Lumens…
In a world where two is one and one is none, I don’t know why you would put all your eggs in one basket … One of the trends I dislike the most among gun owners is consolidating calibers. Those who follow the trend are purposely narrowing their collection of firearms so that they’re all…
The Black Friday weekend is the most popular shopping time of the whole year, so named because this one weekend can move a company from the red (losing money) to the black (profitable). Like capitalism, the modern sporting “Black Rifle” is part of what it means to be an American. Since we have permission to…
Call it kismet, karma, or fate, but when I got an email a couple months back from Henry Holsters asking if I wanted to review its new Springfield Armory Echelon holster, I went ahead and tipped my psychic friend regardless. It was perfect timing as I had an Echelon for review, and I needed something…
Friday the 13th was supposed to be the day of Jihad. Hamas leaders called for a day of reckoning for the whole world as retaliation for the expected Israeli ground attack on the Gaza Strip.
